Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cup bread crumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp sriracha or hot sauce
- 1 small English cucumber, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onion, bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and sriracha. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
In another small bowl, toss the cucumber slices with rice vinegar and sugar. Let this sit for 10-15 minutes to lightly pickle the cucumbers.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan. Cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
While the burgers cook, spread the softened butter on the cut sides of the burger buns. Toast the buns on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.
Assemble the Bushka Burgers by spreading the spicy mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer a lettuce leaf, a cooked burger patty, tomato slices, and some pickled cucumber. Top with the remaining bun halves.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Bushka Burgers!
